2011 Coche-Dury Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Cote de Beaune, France
In the heart of Burgundy, where vineyards and tradition intertwine, lies the village of Meursault—home to some of the most revered names in winemaking: Dominique Lafon, Jean-Marc Roulot, Arnaud Ente, and others. Yet among these luminaries, one estate stands above the rest—Domaine Coche-Dury.
Renowned the world over, Coche-Dury is a benchmark for white Burgundy, its name synonymous with precision, purity, and age-worthy Chardonnay. While the domaine’s global reputation rests firmly on these exceptional whites, its reds—crafted from Pinot Noir—are equally compelling, offering a rare glimpse into the house style expressed through a different lens.
Domaine Coche-Dury represents the purest essence of winemaking, where tradition, dedication, and a profound connection to the land create some of the world's most coveted wines. Whether it’s their remarkable Corton-Charlemagne or the sought-after Meursault cuvées, each bottle from this iconic estate is a glimpse into the rich history and winemaking mastery that is Coche-Dury. As the next generation—Raphaël and Charline Coche—take up the mantle, the future of this storied domaine remains as bright as its celebrated past.

“Coche-Dury’s 2011 Corton-Charlemagne kicks off a flight of stellar white Burgundies. Of course, the 2011 is far too young to be at its best. Tonight, it is the translucent purity of the citrus and lemon confit flavors that stands out most. This really needs time to be at its very best.” (AM) Review Date: 10/2017

“The 2011 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has an exquisite bouquet that truly deserves the phrase 'liquid mineral.' Imagine a limestone quarry being melted down and then distilled multiple times until there is just enough to fill your wine glass. The palate has perfect acidity and subtle spicy notes on the entry: hints of lime flower, citrus lemon and a subtle note of mandarin coming through with aeration. Is exhibits balletic poise on the finish -- a sensational Corton-Charlemagne that just may turn out to be just as good as the 2010. Drink 2018-2035.” (NM) Review Date: 04/2014
